Food Worker Training/Certification

In June 2004, the Monroe County Department of Public Health expanded the mandated training requirements for Food Service workers within permitted facilities. We recognize two levels of trained workers:Level-1 Food Manager and Level-2 Food Handler.

The type of training that is required for each facility is based on the risk assigned to the permitted establishment (High, Medium, or Low). Risk classification is located on the permit under the permit number. All Food service operations must meet the mandated requirements.

The Monroe County Department of Public Health offers periodic classroom sessions for the local Level 2 Food Handler. Additional information, and a full list of other training providers, can be found below in a 1-page Guide to Food Worker Training Certification.
